Well I found the source of my coolant leak. Water pump outlet to the block has a small drip. Chances are the bolt backed out like it did a couple years ago

Water pump gaskets changed. I wouldn't recommend leaving the proharhrr bracket on as it blocks the one side of the pump for access. I did however find my coolant temp sensor busted off at the connector. Good thing I had another one just sitting around. 2 more hose clamps and it's good to go

I'm so stoked to see what it will do I'm 100% happy where we have it and that you said it didn't lose that much power. Time to turn the boost up and get the maf dialed in then the rest of the tune dialed in

So if I don't talk to the guy who supposedly challenged me, does it even count? Because on street outlaws the challenge is done in person

Got the oil changed last night and need to change plugs tonight and try to figure out whats going on with the wideband then maybe I will go log and see what its looking like. I have to tune a sleeper tonight that is going to the track with us, so I'll see what I've got for time.

more like blowing it out the breather on the passenger side. I'll be rigging up another PCV today into the intake. I'm afraid of taking the intake off the procharger and finding all the oil lubricating the wheel

I'm hoping to dip into the high 12's, and I'd like to trap 110+, but I'll be on 26" tall radials, so we will see about that trap speed.
